Ideal candidates will bring hands-on experience with Paragon EHR/RCM functionality and familiarity with revenue cycle metrics. While this is an individual contributor role, prior team lead or supervisory experience is a plus.

• Manage billing and AR workflows to minimize backlog and DNFB while maximizing clean claim rates and reimbursement performance
• Identify trends in claim denials and collaborate with internal teams to implement corrective actions
• Track, analyze, and report on KPIs including AR days, ATB balances, denial trends, clean claim rates, adjustments, and cash collections
• Partner with IT and revenue cycle stakeholders to configure, test, and validate Paragon system workflows
• Document, implement, and refine RCM policies and procedures to align with evolving payer and regulatory standards

Revenue Optimization & Compliance

• Proactively review payer trends and support resolution through appeals, payer follow-up, and escalations
• Support root cause analysis for denials and recommend system/process improvements
• Ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines and billing standards; participate in staff education where appropriate
• Provide recommendations to leadership for improvements in system usage, workflow design, and performance tracking

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Serve as a key liaison between client teams, RCM leadership, and internal technology groups
• Communicate effectively with billing/collections teams, providing data and insights to improve productivity and accuracy
• Support client engagement efforts by aligning RCM performance goals with strategic business outcomes
• Participate in client check-ins or onsite sessions (travel limited to 1–2 weeks during contract period)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Minimum of 5 years in healthcare revenue cycle, ideally in a hospital or large provider group
• Paragon EHR/RCM experience is required, including billing configuration, claims submission, reporting, and denial resolution
• Strong working knowledge of CPT/ICD-10 coding, payer rules, appeals processes, and reimbursement guidelines
• Demonstrated ability to use data and analytics to drive decision-making and performance improvement
• Familiarity with Cerner Patient Accounting is a plus, particularly for comparative analysis or transition support
• 2+ years in a team lead, supervisor, or training role is preferred but not required
• Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration, Finance, or related field; CRCR, CRCE, CPC, CPCO certifications are a plus

Ideal Attributes:

• Detail-oriented with excellent problem-solving and organizational skills
• High degree of initiative and accountability in remote settings
• Comfortable managing change in a dynamic environment
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally across technical and operational teams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including client-facing experience

What We Offer:
